IceStorm 2.0 took graphics card cooling above and beyond the previous generation cooling hardware design to enable this generation of ZOTAC GAMING GeForce graphics cards to stay fast while keeping temperatures in check. With the truly revolutionary new design of Z, our cooling engineers had to rethink the entire approach to graphics card cooling.

FAN-LESS

Never before was it possible to have a graphics card of this caliber to have a cooler design that’s of a fan-less nature. The design itself is reminiscent of any outgoing graphics card cooler design where fans would normally reside on the sides and center of the card to pull in cool air. With the Z, the design feature is technically “fan-less”, as in not visibly visible while also featuring the FREEZE fan stop tech.

GUIDED AIRFLOW

Beneath the shroud lies a system of Turbine fans that is completely encapsulated and sealed with the exception of the intake. The sealed Turbine fan system enables a pin-point path of airflow our engineers have guided to release around the perimeter and across the diameter of the circular cutout of the cooler design. This new Turbine Fan System allows up to 4x more airflow and up to 2x more card coverage than traditional designs of past.

BIGGER IS BETTER

With a thinner frame and a “fan-less” design, our engineers have taken advantage of the extra room to seriously beef up the heatsink. Now with more space available, the heatsink overall size is 30% thicker and more capable of absorbing GPU heat while still retaining a standardized dual slot width. With the added girth of the heatsink, the heatpipe system also receives a massive upgrade with a mixture of 8mm and 10mm strategically placed heatpipes. For the first time in GPU cooling history, our engineers have also utilized a massive 15mm heatpipe in the combination.

SPECTRA 2.0

The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER Z features SPECTRA 2.0 RGB lighting where you can easily control via the ZOTAC GAMING FireStorm utility. The Z introduces a levitating logo at the center of the design. The logo is designed specifically to draw a levitating look and feel and not something seen on a graphics card before. It is truly special and one deserving to be on the all-new Z.
